What to do to avoid gaining weight during the holidays? How to avoid Christmas gluttony? In twelve months we do not indulge ourselves as much food and greediness as we do at Christmas. We advise you on how to keep an eye on your diet on Christmas Eve and holidays, so that you do not gain unnecessary kilograms.

Christmas Eve and Christmas on a dietusually remain in the sphere of dreams. And you end up the same every year: butter-browned dumplings with cabbage and mushrooms, melting in your mouth kutia, a little alcohol. As a result, we welcome the new year with extra pounds and a commitment to a draconian diet. Immediately and without delay. And yet it is enough to follow a few rules to get up from the Christmas table with a full, but also flat and he althy belly.

Christmas Eve on a diet - do not make an additional contribution

First, be moderate - eat, for example, a piece of carp instead of four bells. Second - enjoy every bite. You can do anything, as long as you eat slowly. It is the rush that is the worst companion for Christmas meals. Remember that the faster you eat, the more you put on your plate.

Christmas dinners generally start in the afternoon and last a good two hours. So if you get up from the table after five, skip dinner. The longer the break until Christmas breakfast, the lower the risk that you will not burn unnecessary calories. If you can't control yourself, come out. Anywhere but further from the refrigerator. Best for a walk.

Christmas Eve on a diet - how to reduce your appetite?

It may happen that in the morning you feel an unpleasant suction in your stomach. Instead of going to the kitchen for a piece of carp left over from Christmas Eve, try home-made… acupressure. Using your middle finger on the crease between your nose and upper lip really works! 20 seconds is enough for the suction to stop and the stomach temporarily forgot that it is empty.

If you still feel like you would eat a horse with hooves, have a cup of tea with honey and a natural flaxseed yogurt to soothe Christmas sins.

Usually, on the first day of Christmas there is a ghastly weight in the stomach. If mint tea, chamomile tea or mineral water does not help, try ginger water. Ginger essential oils, in addition to warming up, accelerate metabolism and relieve pressure in the abdomen.

The smells are the most treacherous about the holidays. Because if it wasn't for the unique aroma of vanilla cookies with almonds, you would reach for them as a last resort. Fortunately, tempting fragrances can also be fought. It is enough to light scented candles, e.g. with the aroma of lemon and orange, which have a neutralizing effect. Or at least tell yourself so.

Movement will help you lose weight after Christmas

Holidays, holidays and after Christmas, and the food … stays. In order not to eat pierogi or carp for lunch, breakfast and dinner for the next few days, it is enough to freeze some of them and take some of them to a lonely neighbor.

Even if you feel you've got through Christmas without compromising your weight, start moving more. Just go shopping. Just one hour of walking along shop windows will burn 250 calories.

The best way to throw off unnecessary, post-holiday folds will be dancing on New Year's Eve. It will not only strengthen the thigh muscles, but also act as an intense aerobic exercise. An hour of extinction equals 250-300 calories burned.

Important
  • When cooking meat, replace butter and oil with olive oil, and for sweetness, replace sugar with a natural sweetener.
  • Add lemon to most dishes - it is a rich source of vitamin C, which will accelerate fat burning.
  • Put freshly baked cookies in a paper bag to absorb the fat.
  • Drink one glass of water with each glass of wine.
